Chapter 43 He's a spy

When Lan Ling returned to Chenxiangyuan, the girls were overjoyed, but Lixia and Qiaochun were full of worries.

"What's wrong, what happened?" Lan Ling asked.

"Miss, a spy was arrested around the palace a few days ago, and he said it was from the Marshal's Palace!" Li Xia whispered.

"People from the Marshal's Mansion?"

"Yes, I heard that we are locked in a water prison. We are also very repelled by everyone, as if we are also spies..."

"Don't think too much, I'll ask the prince tomorrow." Lan Ling comforted her.

Lan Ling was lying on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. Who would be the spies of the Marshal's Mansion? I tried my best to escape and came back obediently, thinking it was ridiculous.

The next day, the snow stopped, and the palace was as quiet as before.

Lan Ling simply had breakfast and went to Ling Chen's study to find him.

He is indeed there. Ling Chen had let the wind out to the outside world, saying that he was stabbed by an assassin and could not go up to court.

The fifth prince happened to be there when Lan Ling passed by.

Ling Chen leaned on the mat with a lazy expression on his face.

"Why are you here so early?" Ling Chen looked at her lightly.

For some reason, Lan Ling always felt that Ling Chen in Prince An's mansion treated her like a different person.

Those tender feelings, those beautiful things, are all fake, or a dream.

Really good things must be short-lived. Lan Ling sighed.

"I heard the girl say that someone from the Marshal's Mansion was arrested. Can I meet him?"

"No. Madam Ling, this king is discussing matters. Come over at noon." Ling Chen's face was expressionless.

Lan Ling came back angrily.

By noon, Lan Ling went to Ling Chen's study again.

This time, she pushed open the door and went in, and found that there were many people in the room. Ling Chen was sitting in the middle. On the left was the Fifth Prince and the Duke of Northwest Guan Shichang. , Fan Xing, Tian Ming, Gu Fan, Yang Shuo, Fang Qiang, Wen Heng.

These people, in Lan Ling's memory, except Fan Xing, are Ling Chen's people.

In this situation, Ling Chen still let Fan Xing attend their meeting, don't you believe what I said?

On the ground in front of him lay a man covered in blood, with chains.

"Didn't you want to see it, it's him!" Ling Chen pointed to the ground.

Lan Ling endured the discomfort in his heart and lifted the man's face to take a look.

"Liu Chong! Why are you?" Lan Ling was shocked.

Liu Chong opened his eyes, "Miss San, it's really you, you'll be fine."

"Why are you here? What are you doing here?" Lan Ling asked.

"I accidentally heard the eldest young master say that the third miss was missing. I wanted to come and see, but I felt it was inappropriate. I wandered in front of the palace gate, but was caught as a spy..."

"Why didn't you tell the guard at the door that you were looking for me?"

"I said it, they said you were not here and wouldn't let you in, and the marshal didn't know if I came here."

Lan Ling understood, and Liu Chong came to see her privately when he heard someone say she was gone. But why did he come to see her privately?

"Master, he's here to find me, he won't be a traitor. He takes good care of me in the Marshal's Mansion on weekdays." Lan Ling interceded.

"I see." Ling Chen narrowed his eyes slightly.

A slave, dare to covet Lan Ling!

"Master, I don't know if this minion used to come here often. How did a lot of our news reach Lan Jingtian?" Fang Qiang's voice, Liu Chong was the one who brought people to arrest him.

Fang Qiang looked at Lan Ling with hatred in his eyes. Among the people killed in the Xiaoqi Camp were his buddies.

"Ling'er, the situation is special now." There was no warmth in Ling Chen's voice.

"But he is seriously injured, can I heal him?" Lan Ling looked at Liu Chong as if he was about to die.

"Mrs. Ling, you know that many brothers in Xiaoqi Camp were killed by Lan Jingtian, and many of the captured brothers were tortured. He belonged to Lan Jingtian and was caught snooping in front of the palace gate. It is normal for me to interrogate him, not to mention , he can't be said to be innocent yet."

Fang Qiang glared at Lan Ling.

"Fang Qiang, it's a matter of fact." Tian Ming glared at Fang Qiang.

"Although he is from the Marshal's Mansion, he came to see me because he cared about me. I guarantee that he is not a spy!" Lan Ling always felt inferior in front of them, perhaps because of his father.

"Mrs. Ling, you can't make a mistake at this time. It's not easy for him to get to where he is today. So many of us have followed him with trembling until now. You can't make a mistake because of an unrelated person. You are his concubine, you should know that. In general!" Wen Heng spoke.

"I'm only talking about this person, I can guarantee this person..." Lan Ling smiled bitterly, she didn't know the whole thing. What if this person is Wen Heng?

"Have you thought about it for the lord? The lord has been thinking about this day for a long time, how can you allow a little mistake!" Wen Heng was very angry.

"Mrs. Ling, Miss Wen can understand things. You are the prince's concubine, how can you make these demands?" The Northwest Hou sneered.

"Miss San, I'm fine. You don't have to worry." Liu Chong raised his head, his voice hoarse.

Northwest Hou looked at her sideways, and Liu Shangshu glared at her.

"My lord, Lan Jingtian just went to the altar tomorrow, is the plan to kill Lan Jingtian still going?" The Northwest Hou asked Ling Chen.

"Of course, the plan remains the same." Ling Chen replied.

Lan Ling froze, "What? You want to kill my father?"

"Someone, send Mrs. Ling back to Chenxiangyuan. This spy, Tian Ming, will put him in the dungeon."

Lan Ling looked up at Ling Chen, but Ling Chen's eyes were on Wen Heng.

"It's like this now, you don't want to go back in the future, I asked them to prepare a room for you, and it will be in Prince An's mansion for the time being." Ling Chen said to Wen Heng.

The bitter taste slowly filled Lan Ling's heart.

Wen Heng did not speak.

Ling Chen frowned slightly.

"Heng'er?" Ling Chen called her.

Lan Ling swallowed what he wanted to say, yes, in front of so many people. In front of the prince's important affairs, she said these things, she was really ignorant.

But she didn't say that Liu Chong must be released, she believed that Liu Chong was here to find her. It's normal to be caught as a spy, who made him a member of the Marshal's Palace.

She just saw that Liu Chong had been tortured to the point of death, and she wanted to heal him.

"I'll think about it." Wen Heng said in a low voice.

"Mrs. Ling has the heart to intercede for this person, why don't she go home and persuade Zun to be merciful and think about it for our prince!" Wen Heng did not let Lan Ling go.

Wen Heng coughed because of his anger, stroking his chest lightly.

Ling Chen stood up and patted her on the back, and said distressedly, "This king has his own arrangements, why are you in a hurry?"

Yang Shuo has come over and looked at Lan Ling: "Mrs. Ling, please come back!"

Lan Ling looked at Liu Chong, who seemed to be dead on the ground, took out the Heart Protecting Pill from his jacket, knelt on the ground halfway, and put two Heart Protecting Pills in Liu Chong's mouth.

"Mrs. Ling, your Heart Protecting Pill is not even used by the king, so you give it to this person?" Ling Chen finally glanced at her.

"He's dying. Linger doesn't have a broad mind, nor is she a well-known lady, but Lan Ling is not stupid. She knows who is really good to Linger. I won't hurt the prince, and I want to try my best to protect those who treat me well. Good man, that's all! I came here today to see who that person is, and now, I just want to treat him, I didn't ask to let him go!"

Wen Heng raised his head to look at Lan Ling, and then stared at Ling Chen, Ling Chen's eyes were deeply fixed on Lan Ling.
